You’ve surely noticed: the next generation of leaders rejects top-down hierarchies, narrow career paths, and conformity. To attract and engage these professionals, associations must provide opportunities for individuals to align their breadth and depth of interests with the goals and objectives of the organization.
But how do you actually do it? We invited Connie Steele, Author of Building the Business of You and Principal and Co-Founder of Flywheel Associates, to join Michael Hoffman, CEO of Gather Voices, for a live, 1-hour conversation on creating cultures that engage the next generation of association leaders. They discussed:
Michael Hoffman is the co-founder and CEO of Gather Voices, a technology company that automates the creation, management and publishing of video content. He is also the founder of See3 Communications, a digital marketing agency in Chicago and founder of the DoGooder Video Awards which honors the best social cause video on YouTube each year. Hoffman teaches marketing at the University of Chicago and is an internationally sought-after speaker and trainer who is a trusted advisor to association leaders on engagement strategy.
Connie Steele is a Human-Centered Future of Work Expert, Author, Co-Founder of management consultancy Flywheel Associates and host of the Strategic Momentum Podcast.
With over twenty years of experience, working at Fortune 500 (companies such as AOL), start-up and scale-up organizations, high-growth tech companies, and consulting with C-level executives, Connie has observed firsthand how business is no longer rigid and linear, but collaborative and fluid. Connie has always been intrigued by the “why” behind companies and careers that thrive and has spent ten years studying the workplace trends that are now permanent changes.
Today she partners with organizations to help them adapt to the new world of work so they can drive real progress in their company. She is also passionate about helping individuals navigate the ongoing changes in the workplace so that they can achieve personal and professional fit in their careers.
